I cannot read the invisble ink on the tags even though they are in good shape. The box numbers are 168487 and 168488. The speakers are K-33E, K-55V, and K77 high. They look like Cherry finish. I don't know how to post photos online here yet...any info now?

My Bose are series 6. I ran them with the Nakamichi 620 for several years. I believe that I am selling my Nakamichi rack as it has aged since 1978 and I really have no use for it (luggage)! I just cannot seem to let them go. Anyway, what is a tube amp like? I know of the old Macintosh when I bought my stereo. But why is it different or better than the say 620? I am building a home this year on Lake Cumberland overlooking the lake with a great room cathedral ceiling beams etc. I would like to fill the room with a great sound image. When I was in the USN, I went to clubs that run 901's hanging from the ceilings that bounced sounds off of walls where there were no speakers. I thought that was neat. Also I read every stereo review I could get my hands on while on ship. Boston Accoustic speakers were popular, Dalquist, Magneplans, and Accoustic Research. I bought the Nakamichi System One, Polk Audio Monitor 10's with a Thorens Belt Drive Turntable. I added a Apt Holman east coast preamp which was great (better than Nakamichi preamp by far.) My point is I at that time realized sound imagery as in good head room and cleanliness with a good damping factor on speakers. The Bose in some peoples opiniion deviated from that philosophy. They just sound great in their own way. My Polk 10s were different with the Nakamichi amp at .001 distortion because you could feel and hear people breath between lyrics. I would like to get back to that philosophy of clean full range sound imagery. Basically I do have to choose another amplifier or receiver. Any ideas?

I cannot wait to hear the difference. The 901's are in a league of their own positive or negative. I used to own Polk Monitor 10s which had great sound imagery, efficiency etc. The CW must be a really nice speaker system.

I am using a turntable exclusively for the rich album sound. How does a tube amp complement this?

Where are the oil cans on the woofers? I went to the Cripes web site and got the repair information for the squaker, crossover kits, and tweeters. I will have to troubleshoot later this week to find out actual problems. It very well could be just connections. I never thought that the sound imagery would be tainted with the two sets of speakers in the same room. The Bose are efficient as well but do not have hard hitting base. This is why I thought they would complement one another. It will be something to play with anyway (lol). I appreciate the feedback on those of you who have owned both sets. I have a Nakamichi 620 amp actually the whole rack 600 series. The amp needs repaired new cans etc. Any idea who could do that for me? I will display pics and numbers later this week. The numbers are faded. The speakers are in great shape!

I just bought a used set of Cornwalls for $75.00 that need some maintenance. I haven't had time to go through them yet. They have the square magnet woofers (I haven't ided them properly yet.) If it were to be woofers, can they be replaced with a jbl or cerwin vega speaker and perform as well? I also own a set of Bose 901's. What I want to achieve is a marriage between the two types of strengths that these speakers have. The Cornwalls will have their full range imagery with powerful lows where the 901's I will hang from the ceiling and let the sound bounce around. Any ideas upon on how to amplify this situation cleanly? Also, would a person consider getting a 5th speaker as a center or is this just overkill such as a 5.1 amp setup? So in summation traditional amps or surround sound as in new 5.1 etc.? If anyone would like to expand on this I would appreciate the interest and attention. Thank you, Bryan
